The Deer Hunter 1978
I don’t know how I could have missed this masterpiece. I think I might have seen it when I was very young because some of its images created strange déjà vu moments while watching. Anyway, The Deer Hunter left me shaken and awed. Michael Cimino’s portrayal of friendship and the scars of war feels raw and deeply human. Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken deliver unforgettable performances, and even Meryl Streep’s quieter role resonates with quiet strength. The Russian roulette scenes are haunting, but it is the small moments (loss, resilience, love) that linger. A true masterpiece that cuts to the core.

Blink Twice 2024
The film’s feminist undercurrents explore how women are both complicit in and victimized by patriarchal structures. While the performances are strong, the plot becomes bogged down by repetitive sequences and unfulfilled thematic promises. The climax relies too heavily on familiar tropes, undermining the film’s potential for deeper commentary. Despite its aesthetic appeal, it falls short of its feminist critique.

Tarantino's decision to forgo CGI and rely on practical stunts underscores his dedication to maintaining an authentic feel. The exhilarating car chases call to mind iconic films like "Terminator 2" and "The Junkman," while showcasing Tarantino's talent for twisting…
